Somewhere is a RSX with your name on it.

 

560whp with a 100 shot? dont think many things will kill it...

 

Making Ward's Top 10 every year since it's debut isn't good enough for you??

 

in FL? you know how many 800+ rwhp supra's are running around in FL? TT Vipers.. TT C5's...

 

let's not bench race with other peoples' cars in FL please. That's just stupid.

 

+1 if you think 560 with a 100 shot is something to brag about, then you need to get out a little bit. I wouldnt be bragging about that. To many sick cars in any town that will spank that.

 

I disagree....I think the VQ is one of the best N/A V6 engines in production...smooth...good torque...

 

Whoa david is that station wagon really running a 13.1??? Talk about sleeper.

 

+100

 

look at the v6 engines that VQ has to compete with: eclipse v6=terrible, mustang v6=terrible, tiburon v6=terrible, cadillac CTS v6=alright but pushing 4200 lbs around, basically unless the v6 engine is coming from a company with a name like Porsche, noble, ect its not even worth mentioning in the same breath as a VQ35HR. If we are going to compare our v6 platform with FI v8's or 65,000 sports cars (c6 z06) then we should at least be fair about it and give the Z half of the difference in price to add mods and tune. so lets do the math.

z06- 60,000
350z-28,000

difference-32,000 (thats a whole extra Z BTW)

so lets say the Z is allowed half of the difference to mod (stroked/TT/N20, ect)
that gives the Z 16,000 to work with. Easy win for the Z every time. Stop comparing the Z with cars 2-3X its price. All that does is show how AMAZING the Z is. How many cars can be mentioned in the same breath as a car worth 2-3X its price. I know the z06 certainly can't keep up with cars that sticker@180,000. Take your **** elsewhere.

 

Lets see....a site dedicated to the 350Z and VQ series engines.

And you hate the VQ.

Good. Find a new board then.

 

Are you kidding, i mean a 560whp Z is cool and all, but theres a ton of insanely quick cars somewhere else and in FL no less. Theres a bunch of great tuning shops in florida that turn out a ton of high HP cars. Cybernations, performance factory, (japtrix and i think BSP are in florida) and you can't forget about Titan motorsports..

 

lol....z06 yes......c5 no

 

I'm waiting for his next thread.... "I'm sick of my *****"

 

 

um actually it does.... even more so after you ditch the runflats... but thats not what this thread is about....

 

BAHAHAHA

 

I just wish the VQ was a bit better in response to mods. I hate having to spend $$$ and only gain 5whp.

Lake a LS series motor... swap the cams and a few other small things and you get some nice gains. Face it the VQ is maxed out in its n/a form.

 

Isn't the VQ rated the #1 engine in its class for how many years? I guess after having it for so long, the adrenaline rush is not there anymore. Same here. I got used to the power in the Z, coming from a torque-less honda in like 2 weeks because I was flooring it a few times everyday during the period. But I have got to admit, its definitely the best entry level sports car for its price and Im in love with the way it looks. Im definitely keeping it for a looooooonnnnng time.

Its too bad the manufacturer pulled every ounce of HP from the engine from the factory tho'. I wish the VQDE had a better response to basic bolt-ons.

 

an engine that responds poorly to mods means that it was designed properly from the beggining.. your headers, exhaust and intakes won't open up more power if the engine is already running efficently to begin with.
